The Eternal Business Consultancy

Many business owners are kept awake at night by one question:

“How can my entrepreneur story end in a way which allows me to take my value, preserves the good I’ve built up, and looks after the employees?”

Traditional succession planning often doesn’t provide all the answers. However, a solution is available.

Employee ownership is the new and better way of preserving your legacy. It enables:

  • Passing on control without employees having to raise capital
  • The owner receiving a fair market value for the business

BUT: An employee-controlled business is not like other businesses. The transition of control needs time and careful planning to build a business that might just last for ever.

An Eternal Business!  And our programme is how we help you get there.

 

There’s also a book that was written to help spread the word about employee ownership.  You can read chapter one for free or order a copy directly from Amazon

The Programme

The Programme takes a business along the four strands that are key to making a long term sustainable business. The end of the Programme sees the final transition into an Employee Ownership Trust. However, it is important to acknowledge that the vast majority of the changes will benefit any businesses, whether or not they become employee owned.
